not gaining weight

[moodye247]

Am 24weeks and have not gained weight. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes  since 18 weeks so ive been watching my carbs i eat.  i also had gained excessive weight right  before i got pregnant. i saw my doctor and she had the nerve to ask me if i was starving myself. i eat 3 times a day and snack three. my ultrasound showed mt baby was 12 oz. Why am i not gaining weight.

It's good you're being careful with your diet, but be careful you're eating enough calories. I used to habitually watch what I ate because I easily gain weight, but in pregnancy we need a good 2000 calories at least. As long as you're getting enough calories and eating all the important things, I wouldn't worry too much unless your doctor says you're pretty underweight for your stage of pregnancy. Women gain weight in pregnancy in whatever way makes sense for their bodies.
